Dragon fruit has such a beautiful color, I often make snacks from it. Whatever new recipe I find from the fruit is the quickest to try. Yeah the shape is cute and the color is super bright so anyone would love it.




This time the combination of one snack that made me very curious from a long time ago. That is processed boiled cassava with dragon fruit filling in it so that the shape is very unique and has an adorable character.




Dragon Fruit Stuffed Cassava Balls

Cassava dragon fruit cake is a combination of cassava which is boiled and then mashed until smooth. Then after mashing, add the dragon fruit filling in it. The unique color is so interesting and the most tantalizing is the final layer with a touch of dried coconut sprinkles that are abundant.

Now this sprinkling of dried coconut is the hardest ingredient for me to find in my area. I had to order it from an online store some time ago. As a result, after finding dried coconut, I immediately shopped for other ingredients in the form of dragon fruit and cassava. Dragon fruit is cheap now the price is only IDR.20,000 rupiah, this is very cheap from the usual price.



Curious isn't it with the step-by-step process of the procedure for making it.

While waiting for the cassava to cook, I prepare the dragon fruit pieces, cut into small squares or according to your taste.

This is indeed very cute and adorable anyone would really like it, the combination of white cassava color that I deliberately bought white cassava combined with the bright pink color of dragon fruit. Uhh this is a very cute combination in my opinion, it even makes me want to finish it immediately. But I can't, it will make me full very fast.

I tasted this cassava ball, the sweetness is just right, the cassava is really soft, plus the freshness of the dragon fruit with the right natural sweetness.

Aw, they look absolutely heavenly ❤️

You have to make this it's so delicious!

Oh, I must! The only problem is that the dragon fruit we find here doesn't have that amazing color; it's rather pale. But I guess I can use another fruit with a vibrant color.

Beautiful, friend!

Strawberries are also a great choice!

Dragon fruit has such a vibrant colour. See how beautiful and inviting it made the snack look 😍

The color combination is very tempting!

Yes, it is 👌 😊

Truly colorful and appetizing. Dragon fruits has such a beautiful color.

Cheers 🥂 to the new week beautiful 😍

It's a beautiful day to enjoy delicious snacks that are so easy to prepare.

In my country, Venezuela, there's a cassava product called "casabe," which, when soaked, can easily be made into a paste. I thought you might have used something like that, but it was cassava itself. Your recipe looks delicious, tasty, and simple. I hope to make it someday, or at least a similar version, because I'm not aware that dragon fruit exists here. Although I haven't seen it, I know that in my country, they also have a fruit called "pitahaya," although someone told me it wasn't the same as dragon fruit, even though the photos show they look similar. But even if it isn't, I know I can make a similar recipe to yours with another fruit, because you've given me some great ideas. Thanks for sharing your recipes.
